Cark Mooper (from chaos comes clarity)

About Me

I skate for Full Tilt Productions and Shovel Clothing and the DAY THAT I DIE WILL BE THE DAY I SHUT MY MOUTH AND PUT DOWN MY SKATEBOARD Well to start things off my name is Mark Cooper or Cark Mooper whichever you prefer. I like alot of punk rock (real punk no emo crap here) and classic rock. The top music picks would be Zack Hexum, 311, Bad Religion, Jimmy Eat World, 311, Tiger Army, Pennywise, 311, Tom Petty, Matt "Jimmy" Cooper Tom Petty, and Black Flag in no perticular order. Skateboarding is my life I'm not out there to be famous but its been more of a stress relief for me. I ride for Shovel Clothing a small team started by my friends who all ride bmx but me. I have broken both bones in my left arm twice, broke my collar bone, had a concussion, pretty sure I broke my wrist at sometime, and also two surgeries done to my arm including having a metal plate put in, which I got to keep after it got taken out. I used to drive a beat Chevy Corsica and would rather do one footed manuals to work thanks to gas prices but shall own yet another Grand Am. I have seen and experienced alot of things in my life I try my best not to live in regret but it does happen to me... alot.. well more then alot. So that's where my skateboard comes in. Well that's all I have to say other than if you want a dvd copy of Shovel Clothing - 4 Miles to Bunola in which the Shovel crew really goes full tilt let me know. Oh and if there's any good ladies out there holla at me.
